Went down to Zillah to visit my young grapevines. David Nevill at Quality Nursery www.grapeplants.net has them embedded in a cozy cocoon of sandy loam. And I mean they are completely buried, lying in bundles three feet underground. Juan, the foreman, dug a bundle up to show me what they look like. When the ground warms up in early April, the plants will start to "move," growing the roots and pushing the buds. That's when we'll plant them.
I toured David & Juan's facility, noting how they fashioned their trellis system. Everyone does it a little differently.
On the way back I stopped in at Wilson Orchard & Vineyard Supply in Yakima www.wilsonirr.com. Very friendly & helpful folks. They have everything you could possibly need for a trellis system. I'm going to send them a sketch of the vineyard and then they can tell me exactly what I'll need.
